16 weeks!

I am 16 weeks today and feeling so blessed. Also, feeling quite big. You don't have to be polite...I can tell how much weight I have put on but I can't seem to truly care. I am ecstatic about our baby and that is all there is to say about that:-) We had a dr. appt this week and everything looks good. We have our ultrasound on the 17th of Nov. and we should find out the gender then! I can't help but think about its true purpose...to make sure our baby is healthy. That is first and foremost for us. Malia is getting so big. Very soon now her "paci" will be bye bye...another transition for her. She is going to be a great big sister.
Here is some info about the baby:

How your baby's growing:Get ready for a growth spurt. In the next few weeks, your baby will double his weight and add inches to his length. Right now, he's about the size of an avocado: 4 1/2 inches long (head to rump) and 3 1/2 ounces. His legs are much more developed, his head is more erect than it has been, and his eyes have moved closer to the front of his head. His ears are close to their final position, too. The patterning of his scalp has begun, though his locks aren't recognizable yet. He's even started growing toenails. And there's a lot happening inside as well. For example, his heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day, and this amount will continue to increase as your baby continues to develop.

Pretty amazing!!
